New Brexit battle as two songs fight for this week's Official Singles Chart Top 40: Ode To Joy and Dominic Frisby's 17 Million F**k Offs

They have to win at least one thing.

british pound is more expensive than euro.so I dont like brexit

What absolute cobblers!

The British people voted to leave the EU in a Referendum and won. We will leave the EU tomorrow and not before time.

How did Farage become an MEP?

Pistols, U2, Rage Against The Machine, The Clash, System Of A Down. These are some bands who used music as a way to express their views, sometimes politically. Your anti-establishment groups, well U2 was until they sold out, but that's another story.

He's been re-elected since 1999 onward under the UKIP banner. The European elections are very different than your typical local or general elections. People usually use the European elections as a protest vote against the government of the day.

By his charismatic personality, his knowledge of the political system and because he is a man of the people.

No elections involved, he walked up and took a seat?

Well, 17.4 million voted for it in 2016 and 14 out of 32 million voted for this Tory Brexit in 2019.

Don't mess up delivering those campaign promises otherwise we'll rEUnite soon enough. ;)

Not one of those "unelected European MP's" then. ;)

No. The EU does have some form of democracy. Some will think it's important to have a representative in the European parliament, whereas the other side think it's a giant waste of money. It depends what side of the argument you fall on.

Well if the UK was as democratic as the EU then Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland would be using their veto.

Half of labour voters wanted to leave. I guess some have stayed labour despite them still wanting to leave.

No. He got elected

Was about a 1/3 in 2016 according to the post referendum surveys.

Using their veto in a collective participation of UK members, in an EU referendum? That doesn't make any sense to me in a logical way. There would be no point in even holding a referendum if that was the case.
I do have sympathy for the Scots however, but i don't think the SNP are the way to go, especially after listening to Sturgeon's speech. Broken promises already.

Well two members voted against Brexit, anyway this is leavers problem to sort out.

Maybe Scots just want their country back, who knows.

I entirely disagree with that sentiment. I personally think it's a UK issue now. We have to make the best of every situation that we come across in life. whether we like it or not, the UK voted collectively to leave the EU in 2016. The test now will be whether the United Kingdom remains a united country, or whether the countries within a country(sounds strange i know) decides to break up in favour of this European project, which i think will be weakened, yet still be around in the next ten to fifteen years.

What kind of Europe we see from shape and form, will be determined as time goes by. It certainly can't remain as it is now, and i think the EU needs desperate reform itself to survive.

I can see similar arguments that the Scots are basing for Independence, that we had on the leave side. The whole "Take Back Control" mantra from the leave campaign. It was a simple yet effective slogan. It invoked passion and emotion in people.

What a lot of people don't understand about Scottish Independence is the SNP's version of Independence, when they argue that they want their country back from the English, yet plan on handing it to Brussels. That makes no sense to me that the Scots would ditch a union that it has a lot in common with, for example: culture, a currency. shared language, family and friend, sports and other things that we take enjoyment from. And they want to replace that with countries like Lithiunia, Latvia, Romania?

When i take a step back and look, I find myself in spouting remainer arguments that were expressed during the 2016 referendum campaign. But perhaps I'm wrong about this, and that Scotland leaving would be a positive outcome for all. I'm willing to be proven wrong.

Scots feel like they are now a colony of the UK and from their point of view they are right to feel like that, especially if there are as now expected economic impacts. Frictionless trade has now been replaced by a Canada style deal which leaves out services or we just have tariff's and checks at the border.

So from their point of view rather than handing over power to the EU they get a lot more than being a member of the UK.

We find out what Brexit is in 12 months, so can see what happens from there.

Well i think It's always good to hear a different perspective, especially from a Scot who is passionate about the Independence cause. And you're absolutely right in the principle of waiting and see what happens in the next 12 months. I think Scotland could then have a legitimate argument for another Independence referendum if indeed things have gone pear shaped. The positive is that there would be a much stronger case.
There have also been discussions that Scotland will be "leveled" up, whatever that means. But i wonder if Scotland are given more from Westminster, if that would ease the Independence argument, at least for the time being, as I think the genuine sentiment of Independence will always be there.
And i do have a degree of empathy for the Scottish cause. I think in my own perspective as an Englishman, is that we're not fully represented by Westminster either. We don't even have our own parliament, and i think something that Donald Trump once said during one of his speeches, and that was that no one ever mentions about England anymore.
So you'll find a lot of English people torn between staying part of this three centuries old United Kingdom, and secede to break free from the chains it's had around England's neck.

We have to let them win something, right?
